I've seen a few people doing this on the FZ6 forum and decided I wanted to add some visibility to the FZ1. The folks on non-US bikes pretty much have this luxury already but we do not. The Pod Lights.
I stopped over to Auto Zone and picked up the Jam Straight 194A 4 LED lights and some simple 194 sockets.
I also picked up at the Home Depot a step drill bit.
After removing the inner fairings from both sides, I had easy access to the plugged area where the pod lights go. There is a small "nipple" (if you will) that I took a pair of flush cut nippers and clipped off until the area was flat.
I then used the step drill to carefully drill this area to the 3/4" mark to create the socket hole.
The sockets needed a little trimmed off as two of the four clips had a small ear of plastic that wouldn't allow the sockets to snap into place. Here is one trimmed.
